That you don't know squat about Karl Marx.
Now that’s a value added product !
Well, I’m not in the market for a Gulfstream, just yet. Jeepers.
Look at the world around you fool. Our manufacturing now funds the war machine in China who imposes hefty taxes on what WE send to THEM. "Free trade" doesn't exist. The Communists have bought the rope with which to hang us, just as Lenin and the rest boasted they would.
Trump showing his complete and utter ignorance of how manufacturing works.
No, we don’t have “free trade” with China. That would require a Free Trade Agreement. And you still don’t know squat about Marx. Would you like to be educated, or simply wallow in your ignorance?
America is at a make or break point in. If we don’t start making stuff, America is going to break. We need tax revenues to keep critical programs functioning and that means we need to create tax payers i.e. jobs. And we don’t do that by encouraging companies to make things in other countries and then sell them back here.
the hell you say. They will flourish.
In my particular case, I can tell the parts we’re making are headed to Canada or Mexico when the packers are asked to wrap the skids in plastic. But with regard to my most recent duties, if FCA (Chrysler) goes on strike . . . and it’s hour by hour now . . . the deadline has passed, I may be pushing a broom tomorrow. lol
So did Reagan.
Our trade deals forbid unilaterally putting taxes on imported products. More, they makes it impossible. The GATT allows our trading partners to arbitrarily tax our products in retaliation. The resulting pressure from this forces the president to rescind his taxes. Further, you can’t cancel the various trade pacts because they have a suicide clause. Suddenly, all of our products will be taxed by everybody.
The “free lunch” has been discovered, here on FR. Economists are stunned.
He’s done a million press conferences and interviews since he first used that line—and nobody seems to have directly asked him about it.
I'll educate you any day, chump!
Go ahead. Post some Marx. Bring it.
He was wrong to do so. The only thing anti-protectionism results in is manufacturing and labor being exported to where it is cheapest.
*YAWN*
Trump Trains? Hmmmm, where’s my mule?
